Malibu begins their Bravura imprint, which I preferred to most of the Ultraverse. I wanted to like Breed, but it was just okay. Didn't grab me as much as Metamorphosis Odyssey/Dreadstar. Had a kind of sameness feel to it. Firearm #0 came with a videotape, with a short Firearm movie, conceived by James Robinson, who had originally tried to break in as a screenwriter, before turning to comics. It was decent, geenric cop action film stuff. The regular comic was better, as it had more of a hook, with his dealing with super powered villains. Robinson also finished up Grendel Tales: Four Devils, One Hell, which was terrifice. Thos Grendel Tales minis were some great comics. We had gotten Love & Rockets on our newsstand, at Barnes & Noble, so I finally got to see an issue. I started buying it, up to the end, before getting a couple of the trades, then the Locas omnibus. It was the wrestling element to Maggie's story (Chester Square) that hooked me. Jaime drew the action well, plus the characters were fun and there was a nice mix of humor and drama, plus real life. I was more than a bit lost as to who was who and what their relationships were; but, I could figure out enough to enjoy.

War Dancer was the only title I picked up from Defiant and only a couple of issues. They had me at Alan Weiss, then, it underwhelmed. Danger Unlimited is John Byrne doing an FF pastiche, despite slagging off Image for doing reworkings of X-Men (like his Next Men book....hmmmmmmmmm...). Firearm and Strangers continue to be the best of the Ultraverse and there is a new Grendel Tales mini. Not quite in my wheelhouse, compared to War Child or Four Devils, One Hell. Nina Paley's cartoons were favorites, from the Funny Times newspaper and I snapped up her Dark Horse specials. Legends of the World's Finest has Dan Brereton, whose work I had enjoyed since Black Terror, for Eclipse. Dr Weird was old Starlin fanzine material and DHP continues Hermes vs The Eyeball Kid, from Deadface/Bacchus. Power & Glory was new cynical fun from Howard Chaykin and Bravura. Genesis was a reossover between the Malibu non-Ultraverse adventure titles (Protectors, Dinosaurs For Hire).
